Gas shortage UK

[The Natural Philosopher]

yup.

gas in USA can still be something that is gaseous at room temperature. Like 'natural gas'

[Commander Kinsey]

Yes, all control freaks are wrong. So all political parties are wrong. But we can vote for the least interfering one, which is usually right wing. Right wing lets us decide things for ourselves, or with our pockets. Left wing steals from the rich to prop up the poor.

[Commander Kinsey]

I know a couple of places that do. I sent an internet dish and some solar panels over there once.

[Commander Kinsey]

How can a cat produce a cooling effect? Do you make it run in a wheel to turn a compressor? Traditionally hamsters are for that.

And Amish with refridgeration? That would be against their rules surely?

[Commander Kinsey]

Agreed, I vote Libertarian.

[Commander Kinsey]

No problem having wind power all over every country and interconnecting us all with cables.

[Commander Kinsey]

My grandmother did that with an old kettle. Turned it on with no water, no (or failed) cutout. Bang! Powdered limescale everywhere.

[Commander Kinsey]

But calling it gas means it gets confused with real gas.

[Commander Kinsey]

Light it, that should kill you.

[Commander Kinsey]

And those things would have happened if he wasn't president?

[Commander Kinsey]

The same idiots that only vote for the two main parties, because "the other one won't get in". Well they won't if you never vote for them!

[Commander Kinsey]

Sorry, not reading all that.

There you go then. As it becomes very expensive, we'll only use it for plastics.

[Commander Kinsey]

I'm surprised it's still there, the proper one is copyrighted, especially the word "gridwatch".

I could have done, but only needed you to see the current readings.

The cables aren't big enough, we were maxing out all cables from Europe.

[John Larkin]

I don't think many people get confused.

[Commander Kinsey]

Even Americans?

[SteveW]

It could be very confusing if there if you also include the posibility of a gas (LPG) powered car.

[John Larkin]

That would be an "LNG powered car" or a "hydrogen powered car." Both rare.

Not confusing at all.

[Commander Kinsey]

In the UK I can simply say "my car can run on gas". Everyone knows it's propane. Americans are just thick. It's f****ng petrol, which is a liquid not a gas.

[Frank]

No we are not. It is short for gasoline. Brits get too wordy. Their standard page is bigger. Today's lingua Franca is American English.
